Abstract
The immune landscape of healthy prostate and its alterations during prostate cancer (PCa) progression remain poorly characterized. Using scRNA-sequencing and multiparametric flow-cytometry analysis, we comprehensively characterized immune cells in wild-type and PTEN(i)pe-/- mouse prostates, a model that closely recapitulates human PCa. PCa in PTEN(i)pe-/- is marked by the recruitment of tumor-associated neutrophils (TANs), which represent the dominant immune cell population and resolved into eight distinct states, Trem2+ tumor-associated-macrophages (TAMs), and exhausted CD8+ T cells. Trem2+ TAMs differ from the three main resident macrophage populations in the healthy prostate, exhibiting a strong metabolic and immunosuppressive signature, likely driven by the MIF/HIF1A-signaling axis. This study provides the first detailed characterization of immune cells in the healthy mouse prostate and reveals changes in the immune landscape associated with prostate cancer progression.
期刊介绍:
OncoImmunology is a dynamic, high-profile, open access journal that comprehensively covers tumor immunology and immunotherapy.
As cancer immunotherapy advances, OncoImmunology is committed to publishing top-tier research encompassing all facets of basic and applied tumor immunology.
The journal covers a wide range of topics, including:
-Basic and translational studies in immunology of both solid and hematological malignancies
-Inflammation, innate and acquired immune responses against cancer
-Mechanisms of cancer immunoediting and immune evasion
-Modern immunotherapies, including immunomodulators, immune checkpoint inhibitors, T-cell, NK-cell, and macrophage engagers, and CAR T cells
-Immunological effects of conventional anticancer therapies.
